How do I buy a new Marshmallow car insurance policy?

This article is for drivers looking to purchase a brand-new car insurance policy with Marshmallow.

Updated this week

If you’ve just bought a new car, or you’re switching insurers, you’ll need to set up a fresh Marshmallow policy.


Getting a quote for your new car

To start, you’ll need to get a quote for your new car:

  1. Enter your car details (make, model, and registration).

  2. Share your personal driving information (such as licence type, driving history, and where the car will be kept).

  3. Review the price options provided.

You’ll be shown different levels of cover (Lightest, Essential, Original, and Plus) so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.


Choosing your payment option

Once you’ve selected a policy, you’ll need to decide how to pay:

  • Pay monthly – spread the cost across the year with instalments.

  • Pay yearly – make a single upfront payment, often at a discounted price.


Completing your purchase

  1. Confirm your details and chosen cover.

  2. Select your payment method and complete checkout.

  3. You may be asked to complete an ID Check before you can drive. This helps us confirm your details and activate your cover.

Once everything is confirmed, your new insurance certificate and policy documents will be available in the Marshmallow app and sent to your email.
